Description
I shall present a new strategy for handling mean field limits of
quantum mechanical systems. The new method is simple and
effective. It is simple, because it translates the idea behind the
mean field description of a many particle quantum system
directly into a mathematical algorithm. It is effective because the
strategy yields with lesser effort better results than previously
achieved. As an instructional example I treat a simple model for the
time dependent Hartree equation
which I derive under more general conditions than what has been
considered so far.
